You've tried replacing the drive, and the disk works in your USB floppy drive, so about all that's left are the cable and the floppy controller on the motherboard. Probably not much you can do about the latter.
HAH! Oh ye of little faith! You severely underestimate the number of creative ways the "hoomon" can befuddle hisself!
Based on experience - NOT mine, of course 8-O - the power cable mentioned in my other post may be bad, the connectors often are not keyed and the cable may be backwards on one end or the other, older re-used cables may have micro-fractures (from overuse of their flexible properties), the jumpers on the floppy (if present) that select different operating and configurations may be messed up, ...
Well that's all I can think of at the monument (sic).
